we not, all OF us, more or less weak on
this point, and often lend our ear to
such recitals when we should inter-

On Saturday after noon John S.
HassiDser received ;he sad intelli-
gepce by wire that his son, Ptimer,
was ly'ng very seriously i'll at Newton,
EaoSaS, with typhoid feve". The
dispa Gu requested OF DR.. q. Edgar
HassinG, brother to Palmer, TO come
out immediately. The Intelligence
came too late for him to take the ar.
tie noon passenger west, so he procur-
ed II pc init to Lewis.own on freight
u ain where he took the fast line and
reached Newton on Tuesday morn
ing, when he sent the following dis
patch
'Palmer delerious. Recovery doubt
ful. Slightly better this morning"
The entire community deeply sym
pathize with the fbnily. Palmer was
IA young man that was universally
'i.ed, and his many friends hope with
he family that favorable turn may
send CLEAN Of sunshine through
rift ia the dark clouds.
WHEN BUCHER WAS THKEN Down.
a story, too good to be lost, is told

During one of those heated cam.
paigns Joe was advertised to ad-
dress Democratic mass meeting at
Mifiioburg. The time came and so
did Joe-fully conscious of his ability
as u speaker, but entirely ignorant of
the presence OF his father il the audi.

upon mounting the rostrum, opened
with something like the following
apology:
"Gentlemen and Ftllo,U Citizens:-I
ask your indulgence for my tardiness,
aud feel assured that you will readily
grant it when l explain that it was
caused by stopping in on The way for
Il dram-for, gentlemen, you all well
know that no man can make q good
speech without taking something to
brace him up ~
Scarcely had he finished the last
sentence, when his father, with stem
torian voice called out from the aus
diencs
"Now hold on, Joe. That's lie. l
can make a better speech than you
will ever be able to, and i never
took dram in my life !"
This interruption, coming from one
who had so many simpathizers, took
the house by storm, and for the mo~
